i have a good aliens skin pack for ns1. it has redesigned skins for all the weapons, structures and players, not sure if there was legal issues surrounding it but it actually made the game a little more enjoyable for me. if a modder just makes a skin pack but dosnt use the "Aliens" name in it i cant imagine what legal issues could arise... its not like its UWE's fault.

Well they have made a new AvP, so im sure someone whit alittle knowhow could transfer the models into 3DMAX or something, and then make em work in NS2... I dunno, but the "highres" models have allready been created so you "just" need to transfer em :)

Makes me laugh, people talking about the legal issues of an official mod, when all you've ever had for NS was just custom skins and soundpacks.

Migrating the NS1 stuff should be doable, but to be honest I think people are expeting something a bit more high poly.

I don't have the time to get back into modding, and if I did I'd only spend it on learning how to script things up for my own amusement. Good luck to whoever decides to make a pack worthy of NS2 though.

how isit a legal issue when all ur doing is changing the skins to something else, its just a mod for self entertainment purposes. You're not selling the mod, you're not making ANY profit off it. Neither is UWE, they did not package the game or are making any profit off the custom skin which was made by a 3rd party user.

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that sometime, somewhere, someone said to themselves, “You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.” - George Carlin.

... I still have the old NS1 models, funnily enough - and the Predator one I did too.

I have bits and pieces of the Starcraft one, back when I was helping with the animations. It's a shame that project didn't take off, and unfortunately I was too busy soloing my Aliens/Predator ones to pick up the ball for it.
